@Quincy Jones : Quictionary is a glossary of people, places and things associated with Quincy like “Delight - Quincy’s middle name, which he shares with his late father, Quincy Delight Jones, and his son, Quincy Delight Jones III, also known as QD3.”
@Quincy Jones Music Publishing : The Quincy Jones Music Publishing catalogue is home to over 1,600 titles spanning five decades of music covering numerous musical genres including Jazz, R&B, Pop, Rock-n-Roll, Brazilian, Alternative and Hip-Hop.
@American Academy of Achievement : : By 1956, Quincy Jones was performing as a trumpeter and music director with the Dizzy Gillespie band on a State Department-sponsored tour of the Middle East and South America. Shortly after his return, he recorded his first albums as a bandleader in his own right for ABC Paramount Records.
@S p a c e A g e P o p M u s i c : After returning to the U.S. in late 1960, Jones abandoned playing the trumpet entirely during this time, and eventually delegated most arranging duties to colleagues like Billy Byers and Ernie Wilkins, limiting his involvement in his own albums of instrumentals to selection of tunes and conducting.

@Newsweek : Q :”How close did you get to the mob as a child?” A: “One of my best friends was the daughter of one of the Jones brothers. When I was 7, she asked me to cut her hair. Now, she was about 5. I cut it all off. When my father found out he hit the roof. He was like, do you know whose daughter that is? He was scared to death the brothers were going to come after us, but nothing happened”.
@blaxploitation.com : A fairly obscure Quincy Jones score to a film featuring Julie Christie. This album has a similar feel to the The Italian Job and borrows a number of rhythmic motifs from that LP. The best track is the slow groove number “Main Squeeze”, containing some great percussion and keyboard work.
@CNN : : “I used to write a log every day when I was starving to death in New York in the early ’50s — every little arrangement, because we were surviving on that,” he says. “They had all of that material. I had no idea they saved all that. I move too fast to do all that,” he laughs.
@Vibe : There’s something comforting about this glimpse over a genius’s shoulder, a welcome reminder that even living legends must do the little things that make big things possible. “I believed in my dreams because they were my only option,” Quincy once said. Dream on.
